Rating 72.2

The Blue Heron Pines Golf Club consists of two award-winning courses called the East and the West. Located 15 minutes outside of Atlantic City, these public golf courses provide a challenging game and have been touted by many New Jersey publications as the best 18-hole course on the Jersey Shore.

Each golf course had a different designer so they do have some differences. The West Course is relatively flat with narrow fairways and fast greens. Water hazards also come into play on seven holes. The East Course on the other hand features wide fairways and difficult bunkers. The East Course also follows a links-style layout and is meant to be played fast and firm. For those who want to play the courses but aren't at the top of their game yet, the club offers golf instruction.

Better Shape in beginning of season

I played this course on Memorial Day weekend and it was in fantastic shape. I was very excited to play again in Labor Day weekend but overall the course was not in great shape at all. It was not worth the money this time around she hitting off of dirt, dead grass, and weeds. I know courses take a toll throughout the season but it was almost unplayable.

course conditions not worth $115

the course conditions were worse than my local municipal course.

definitely not worth $115. The conditions made it a $50 course at best.

Just a good golf day

Played her twice and both times just a really enjoyable round. Starts with service. Besides the guys upfront being always welcoming, I sliced one boarder tree line right on 8 and the ranger was looking for my ball when I drove up to find it. I actually ended up finding it even down the head start, but that’s irrelevant.

Great public course

For getting a fair amount of play this course was in very good condition. Greens were challenging but not ridiculous. Course is well maintained.

Blue Heron

The course is very playable. There are a couple good holes that make you think. Overall not overly challenging. Some areas are burnt out from the heat but nothing around the greens. Rough is light and not a major issue for most holes.

$60 or less is reasonable price to pay.

Good test

Conditions of course was great for highly played public GC. Some of the holes filter drives to the pine trees so keep down the middle. Golfers of all abilities will appreciate this layout.

Interesting holes that are not overly tricked out with undulating greens or pins tucked behind bunkers.

Private Club Feel at a Public Rate

I had an excellent experience playing at this club today. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. While not particularly cheap, it is an exceptional value overall. Greens were in excellent condition as well as most fairways. Tea boxes were overall OK but considering the amount of play this course gets on a regular basis they were fine.

Pace of play was excellent and an encore escort girl with drinks was welcome addition on a hot day. We stayed and had lunch at the restaurant which had a nice menu with excellent service. The Pro Shop was professional and well stocked. Overall we had an outstanding experience and I look forward to playing here again soon.

Solid course

In very good condition. Several work crews cleaning up trees today. Respectful and aware of the golfers. Greens were slow so that was a bit annoying. But everything else was in good condition. Staff was very helpful and attentive.
